Has there ever been a case where someone convicted of three or more murders was released from prison?

Quite a few eventually get released, Wikipedia has a long list of serial killers, just search that list for the word "released":

The only one I could find was Franz Schmidt who killed three people between 1957 and 1983. Was released in 2003 and died in 2013.
